Sam Altman suggests that instead of Universal Basic Income, there should be Universal Basic Compute, where everyone gets a share of GPT 7 computing power. But what are we supposed to do with that compute? Does it pay rent? Can I buy groceries or medicine with it? Tech Bro is just saying things to promote ITS LLM. 😂 Full interview here for those who wish to see it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nSM0xd8xHUM

up until now I’ve only needed defamation/anti-slapp lawyers (all fucking great) but a corporation has finally been so horrible to me that I’m thinking of actually going on the offensive. If anyone has a suggestion for a Bay Area lawyer knowledgeable about the interwebs pls lmk

Someone in my feed posted (sorry, lost the link) “Hey everyone, how do you hold it together while the world is burning down?” That, and a little trip I took last week, produced a small sad essay: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2023/10/25/Wild-World

Tl;dr: You can’t hold it together all the time under pressure. At least I can’t.

The nice thing about ChatGPT is that when you want to know something like how to hard-reload any popular browser for advice to a user, or know what Writing-First workflow is -- you get a complete answer without any of the junk writing you get from a commercial journalism site, with a writer trying to get a higher word count presumably because they make a few dollars more for the writing. And it seems not to forget the one piece of information you were coming there for.

What COVID19 has taught us about the Zombie Apocalypse is that there will be zombie denialists, zombie virus infection parties, zombie conspiracy theorists, and politicians ruthlessly exploiting lies about zombies to kill off demographics who won't vote for them—and when a vaccine against Z-virus is invented there will be zombie anti-vaxxers (some of them funded by the Kremlin for shits and giggles).

Wanna know how to spot a Real Man? He strides fearlessly into the kitchen after a big messy feast and for an opener performs a triumph of 3-D geometry in dishwasher packing, then, with a chortle, mercilessly expunges cooked-on food from all surfaces, even improperly-sealed cast iron, shedding a manly tear at the pan’s condition. He sneers at the grease’s pleas for mercy. The stovetop recognizes the inevitable and meekly submits to ferocious spatter-and-drip removal.

where do you go to find information about iptables? so far I have:

• this tutorial https://www.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial/iptables-tutorial.html
• man iptables / man iptables-extensions
• stack overflow :(
• the linux kernel source??

there are a bunch of links here but a lot of them seem to be 20 years old and it's hard to know what to trust https://www.netfilter.org/documentation/

Remember how conservatives called #climatechange a hoax for decades? This summer, we've seen:

An historic tropical storm threaten Southern California.

100° ocean water off Florida.

A massive portion of Canada on fire.

A forest fire in Maui.

Record hot temperatures across the world.

Record low sea ice in the Antarctic.

Rising heat deaths.

15 years ago today, we got our wedding license. Here is a photo of me and Bradder from that happy day, smiling and grateful for recognition of our love.
